  • View of the Carpinteria Salt Marsh Reserve from the air looking north/northeast. The Carpinteria Salt Marsh Reserve contains a critically important Southern California estuary, which supports many sensitive plant and animal species. The site includes extensive wetland and channel habitats along with some uplands and is adjacent to a sandy beach, subtidal rocky reef, and kelp beds. The reserve provides habitat for migratory waterfowl along with several plants and animals listed as endangered, such as the salt marsh bird's-beak, light-footed clapper rail, and Belding's savannah sparrow. It is also an important regional nursery for halibut and other marine and estuarine fish (nrs.ucop.edu/Carpinteria-Salt-Marsh.com).

  • Endangered California Least Tern (Sternula antillarum brownii) flying . Tijuana River Estuarine Reserve, CA. This migratory bird is a U.S. federally listed endangered subspecies. The total population of the subspecies amounted to 582 breeding pairs in the year 1974, when census work on this bird began. While numbers have gradually increased with its protected status, the species is still vulnerable to natural disasters or further disturbance of man (wiki 2009)

  • This mature tadpole is a member of the mountain yellow-legged frog complex which is comprised of two species: Rana muscosa and Rana sierrae. Both species are highly aquatic and are always found within a meter or two from the edge of water. Rana sierrae is yellowish or reddish brown from above, with black or brown spots or lichen-like markings. Toe tips are usually dusky. Underside of hind legs and sometimes entire belly is yellow or slightly orange, usually more opaque than in foothill yellow-legged frog, (Rana boylii). Yellow often extends forward to level of forelimbs. Dorsolateral folds present but frequently indistinct. The tadpoles are black or dark brown and are large (total length often exceeds 10 cm) and metamorphose in 1-4 years depending on the elevation. Rana sierrae differs from Rana muscosa in having relatively shorter legs. Rana sierrae have declined dramatically despite the fact that most of the habitat is protected in National Parks and National Forest lands. A study that compares recent surveys (1995-2005) to historical localities (1899-1994; specimens from the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology and the California Academy of Sciences) found that 92.5% of populations have gone extinct (11 remaining out of 146 sites; Vredenburg, et al., 2007) (Vance Vredenburg (vancev AT berkeley.edu),

  • This species is also known as a "lagoon jelly" because it lives in bays, harbors and lagoons in the South Pacific. Spotted jellies have rounded bells and strange clumps of oral arms? .with clublike appendages that hang down below. Instead of a single mouth, they have many small mouth openings on their oral-arms, which capture small animal plankton. In addition, each jelly grows a crop of algae, which gives them a greenish-brown color. They harvest some of their food directly from the algae (MBA 2009)

  • Shoreline Crab (Pachygrapsus Crassipes), Hayward Shoreline Salt Marsh. Hayward Regional Shoreline consists of 1,713 acres of salt, fresh, and brackish water marshes, and seasonal wetlands. Levees were originally built in Hayward and San Lorenzo to create land for salt production. Hayward Marsh, completed in 1985, is a 145-acre fresh and brackish water marsh and is somewhat unusual in that it relies on secondary treated effluent as the freshwater source. The marsh is made up of five managed ponds and has 15 islands that are utilized by many species of nesting birds. (East Bay Regional Park District 2009)

  • A dodder parasitic plant attaches itself to pickleweed (Salicornia virginica) in San Francisco Bay Estuary. Cuscuta (Dodder) is a genus of about 100-170 species of yellow, orange or red parasitic plants. After a dodder attaches itself to a plant, it wraps itself around it and may attach itself to multiple plants in the area..

  • The Raccoon (Procyon lotor), also known as Common Raccoon, North American Raccoon, Northern Raccoon, Washing Bear or informal Coon, is a medium-sized mammal native to North America and the most widespread species of the family Procyonidae. Two of the most distinctive characteristics of the raccoon are its facial mask around the eyes and extremely sensitive front paws; they are also known for their good memory. Often raccoons live together in small, loose groups. (Wikipedia_Raccoons)

  • Caterpillars are the larval form of a member of the order Lepidoptera (the insect order comprising butterflies and moths). Caterpillars are voracious feeders and many of them are considered pests in agriculture. Many moth species are better known in their caterpillar stages because of the damage they cause to fruits and other agricultural produce. Most caterpillars have tubular, segmented bodies. Caterpillars have good vision. Many caterpillars are cryptically coloured and resemble the plants on which they feed and may even have parts that mimic plant parts such as thorns. Their size varies from as little as 1 mm to about 3 inches. (wikipedia_caterpillars)
